Do not be rash with your mouth,
    and do not let your heart be quick to utter a word before God.
For God is in heaven, and you are on earth;
    therefore, let your words be few.
For a dream comes with many cares,
    and the voice of a fool with many words.
When you make a vow to God,
    do not delay in fulfilling it,
for he takes no pleasure[a] in fools.
    Fulfill what you vow!
